Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to ½-inch thickness
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the chicken coating by setting up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Finally, press firmly into the Parmesan mixture to coat evenly on both sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  5. Whisk in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, let the coated chicken rest for 10 minutes before cooking to help the coating adhere better. Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken - cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
